Although [[Shah Safi]]—the [[Safavid]] king—asked him to his palace, Fayd refused the invitation. After that, [[Shah Abbas II]] asked Fayd to hold [[Friday Prayer]] in the capital city of Iran then (Isfahan). Fayd personally preferred to keep his privacy, but after consultations with his friends and companions, he accepted the request.

[[Muhammad Baqir Khwansari|Khwansari]] as well as [[Shaykh Yusuf al-Bahrani]] considered Mulla Muhsin as an [[Akhbari]] scholar. Fayd's writings reinforce the claim. However, on many issues he had independent views; here are some of his particular views:

* Permissibility of [[ghina']] and playing music: Fayd appeals to some hadiths to show that ghina' is only prohibited when it is accompanied by some prohibited actions, such as gambling, relations between men and women, and wrong words. Otherwise, it is not prohibited in itself.

* [[Friday Prayer]] is an individual obligation (al-wajib al-'ayni) for every Muslim. Fayd held Friday Prayer in [[Kashan]] and [[Qamsar]]. He did not accept [[Shah Safi]]'s request to hold Friday Prayer in [[Isfahan]], but he accepted [[Shah Abbas II]]'s request to hold such prayers in the Atiq Mosque of Isfahan.
